This is useful if the diagram is very long and complex. Document This shape represents a step that results in a document. Data This shape indicates that information is coming into the process from outside, or leaving the process.
On-page reference This small circle indicates that the next or previous step is somewhere else on the drawing. This is particularly useful for large flowcharts where you would otherwise have to use a long connector, which can be hard to follow. Off-page reference When you drop this shape onto your drawing page, a dialog box opens where you can create a set of hyperlinks between two pages of a flowchart or between a sub-process shape and a separate flowchart page that shows the steps in that sub-process.

On the Home tab, in the Tools group, click Connector. Drag from a connection point on the first shape to a connection point on the second shape. The connector endpoints turn red when the shapes are connected. Connect one shape to many from a single connection point:. By default, connectors are set to Right-Angle so that if you connect a single point on one shape to three other shapes it will look like the figure below. To have each connector radiate straight from the central point on the first shape to points on each of the other shapes you need to set the connectors to Straight Connector as shown in the following figure.
For each shape you want to connect to, drag from the same connection point on the first shape to a connection point on each of the other shapes.

To change the direction of a connector's arrow, select the connection, and then in the Shape group, click the arrow to the right of Line , point to Arrows , and select the arrow direction that you want.
The easiest way to print a flowchart that is larger than your printer paper is to print it onto multiple pieces of paper and then tape the pieces together. Before you start to print, it's important to make sure that the drawing page, as it appears in Visio, contains the whole flowchart. Any shapes that hang off the edge of the Visio drawing page will not print. On the Print Setup tab, in the Printer paper box, select the paper size you want if it isn't already selected.
In the Preview group, click Single Tile to see how your drawing will print on each sheet. You can switch between pages by clicking Next Tile or Previous Tile. When you are satisfied with how your drawing looks, in the Print group, click Print. After the drawing is printed, you can trim the margins, overlap the pages, and tape them together. To the right of Fit to , type 1 in the box next to sheet s across , and type 1 in the box next to sheet s down.
Each shape on the stencil represents a different step in a process. Visio includes many other, specialized stencils and shapes that you can use in your flowchart diagram. For more information about how to find more shapes, see Use the Shapes window to organize and find shapes. Process This shape represents a step in your process. Subprocess Use this shape for a set of steps that combine to create a sub-process that is defined elsewhere, often on another page of the same drawing.
